Soraya Abd al-Fattah Malhas was born in Amman in 1924. Her father is Abd al-Fattah Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman Malhas, and her mother is a Circassian, Haji Khan Lambaz. Her family lived in Amman before the establishment of the Emirate of Transjordan, where she received her primary and secondary education before completing them in Jerusalem at the English College. She continued her university studies in Beirut and London. She joined the American University of Beirut, where she obtained a BA in Arabic literature and language in 1947, with first class honors. In 1951, she obtained her master's degree again from the American University of Beirut, with first class honors. The subject of her thesis was "The Literature of the Spirit among the Arabs".
